detroit

While it's easy to proclaim our love for big metropolitan cities like New YorkTokyoParisHong Kong, or Los Angeles, ask anyone and they'll say that it's difficult to have that same sort of lovin' feeling for Detroit.


"Whatever you read about Detroit...you will always find the words ghost city, bankrupt, dangerous, crimes and so on...I made a stop there while I was on a road trip to check if people dramatize the whole thing or if the future of Detroit is really that horrible. When I arrived I was kinda shocked cause everything I heard was true."





Despite the sad reality, there are some people (like my roommate!) who can peel away the destruction and find the beauty that still exists in this city.
